Another factoid.... ribose is not found in foods so we cannot get it that way. It does comprise riboflavin (vitamin B2) but we consume small amounts of that also.
Ribose is made from other things inside us, and if this fails, then we can't make adenosine, which is essential for energy production in the body. Like many things we find failing as we age that become genetic failures, ribose is getting much more attention these days.

Mrs. D, thank you so much for jumping in! If the ribose helps with energy levels, it's definitely worth a try. Right now with my huge pay cut, anything looks to expensive to me. But I'll check it out. I'll look at your links and see if you've said anything about the best place to buy the ribose. Thank you!

Hi, I can't add much yet. I was on it for a month. my pain clinic prescribed it for fibromyalgia. I swear it helped the first day. The second day I had a week long pain episode that was the most severe I've had. I think it's because of all the poking and rough treatement from my nurse practitioner at the pain clinic to see if I had fibro. She set it off. They have so far given me samples because it is so expensive. My primary Dr. wanted me to change to Cymbalta
because she could get cymbalta samples. I've been on Cymbaqlta a week but after reading all the horor stories of people trying to get off it, I'm going to request going back on Savella. No horor stories yet. It isn't old enough. I did have strong side effects. The nausea and some mental stuff. Glad that's gone. After I'm back on it, I'll check back to this forum. Good luck with yours. Val |
